“If I learned one thing that day, it was that Peter Bartholomew, Arnulf, even Saint John the Divine had all been wrong. The world did not have to end with ten-horned beasts and dragons, angels and fantastical monsters. The prophets who foretold those things had succumbed to the extravagance of their imaginations, and it had played them false. Nothing on earth could be so terrible as men.”
― Tom Harper, Siege of Heaven

“Hot hearts are wont to overpower cold minds”
― Ben Kane, Eagles at War

“It is a grief to see a hero go down to the house of Hades. It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.”
― Mary Renault, The Praise Singer

“All tragedies deal with fated meetings; how else could there be a play? Fate deals its stroke; sorrow is
purged, or turned to rejoicing; there is death, or triumph; there has been a meeting, and a change. No one
will ever make a tragedy-and that is as well, for one could not bear it-whose grief is that the principals
never met.”
― Mary Renault
